  • the upper end of the stiffener 20, which is the joining part (the first tightening portion 64) with the member 14 is formed in a surface state without an open cross-section (see FIG. 7B ), and it is thereby possible to efficiently transfer a load to the surface of the inner vertical wall 36a of the member 14 (the inner member 36).
  • the first tightening portion 64 were formed with a hat-state cross-section being an open cross-section, when a turning load is input in the vehicle front/rear direction with the upper end of the stiffener 20 as the turning center, this open cross-section is crush-deformed, and a load escapes to drop the load transfer efficiency, the load transfer being from the stiffener 20 to the member 14.
  • the first tightening portion 64 is formed in a surface state, and a turning load of the stiffener 20 can also be efficiently transferred along the surface of the inner vertical wall 36a.
  • the stiffener 20 is provided with the endward expanding shape portion 68 such that the width along the front/rear direction of the vehicle body becomes gradually larger from a certain point, along the longitudinal direction, of the stiffener 20 toward the upper end, and a load is transferred from the stiffener 20 to the member 14, being thereby dispersed into a wide range, which enables improvement in the efficiency of load transfer from the stiffener 20 to the member 14.
  • the first tightening portion 64 at the upper end of the stiffener 20 joined with the member 14 is provided with the pair of screw-tightening holes 66 (see FIG. 7A ), thereby, turning of the stiffener 20 in the vehicle front/rear direction with the first tightening portion 64 as the turning center is inhibited, and a load that is transferred from the stiffener 20 to the member 14 can be efficiently transferred without escaping.
